Scholar highlights need for China-US people-to-people exchanges

Graham Allison, a renowned American political scholar and founding dean of Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, called for sustained efforts to stabilize and enhance China-US relations, stressing that a stable and improving China-US relationship is "good news for all of us".

Accompanied by Wang Linggui, chairman of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, Allison toured the special exhibition "Tales of People-to-People Bonds Between China and the United States" at the Overseas Chinese History Museum of China in Beijing on Saturday.

Allison, known for coining the concept of the "Thucydides Trap", said that the entire bilateral agenda, from the top leadership down to grassroots exchanges, would benefit from more direct interaction.
